Oral History Resources

The usage, creation, and history of oral history materials.

With its oral history program, the Museum of Pop Culture has created an archive of interviews with musicians, authors, filmmakers, producers and other key figures who have profoundly shaped American music, science fiction, and popular culture.

In 2007 MoPOP debuted Sound and Vision: Artists Tell Their Stories, an exhibition dedicated to the oral history collection. This collection of resources is designed for educators to make the most of MoPOP's oral history collection.
